A disheartened 4.6L owner

[98SteedaGT]

I have always gotten the insults because I have a 4.6 and not a 5.0 -- Anyone who's is going to insult you because of it doesn't have much going on upstairs in the brain. A lot of people think that the cubic inch size of an engine is all that matters. You can't even compare a 4.6 to a 5.0, they are two totally different engines. They both have their good and bad points, it's all a matter of opinion and preference. If someone tells you 4.6 sucks, tell them where they can put it, most likely they don't know what they are talking about. As far as your times, I would think you roasted the tires off the line. I have a 98 GT w/4R70W, and I took it to the track once I first got it and all I had on there was H-Pipe and chip, I ran a 15.1 in high humidity and spinning the tires down the track. Since then I have added a lot more to the car, and I have handed several 5.0 (auto & 5spd) bumpers back to their owners after a race, as well as some new 99+ cars too. When it comes down to it, no one elses opinion about your car matters but yours. There will always be a person who likes it, and some one who hates it. That's just how it goes in the car world. It's too bad people can't just respect someone elses car and not always try to show them up or make them look bad. Not all of us are out to win races. Amen, Church is adjurned!!
